The current unit Legal Game Box lists these ordinary APH/daily-permit hunts separately from selection hunts. No draw or E-postcard position is included.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
